In brief
David Young, an 82-year-old from Holyhead who was passionate about transport, is named as one of the victims of the recent funicular crash in Lisbon. His family remembers him fondly as someone who embraced his hobby, finding comfort in the belief that he was engaged in his lifelong passion during his final moments. The incident also claimed the lives of two other British nationals, Kayleigh Smith and Will Nelson. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, with reports indicating that a cable snapped before the funicular derailed.
The third British victim killed in the Lisbon funicular crash has been named by police.
David Young, 82, from Holyhead on Anglesey, was among 16 people who died last Wednesday when the Glória funicular derailed and crashed into a building in Portugal's capital.
His family described him as a lifelong transport enthusiast, saying it was a comfort that his final moments were in pursuit of the hobby which gave him so much happiness.
Over the weekend Cheshire Police confirmed the other British victims were Kayleigh Smith, 36, and her partner Will Nelson, 44.
Known to most as Dave, he was raised in Auchterarder, Perthshire, but moved to Holyhead in 1980 where he had a long career as a customs officer.
In retirement he enjoyed visiting heritage railways and tramways around the world, his family said.
Llinos Medi, MP for Ynys Môn, sent her condolences to Mr Young's family and to those who have been affected.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was deeply saddened by the incident.
His thoughts are with their families and those affected by this terrible incident, a spokesperson said. We stand united with Portugal during this difficult time.
The city's funicular railways - Glória, Lavra, Bica, and Graça - are a popular tourist attraction known for their yellow tram-like vehicles.
Officials said a cable along the railway's route snapped, but the rest of the mechanism was functioning properly. The brakeman tried to apply emergency brakes but failed to prevent the derailment.
The cause of the crash remains unknown. Nationals of Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, France, Britain, Ukraine, and the US are among the dead, according to police.
